Ronchi is soooo going to smash a ton tonight after we all write him off.

He must be amped to play his old country.

Losing to Australia sucked and I miss you

I must say I love that Anderson was called up and then given a game during this tournament, even if only because the game was overs reduced. The sooner we boot Franklin (and seriously how much longer can he last) the better. As long as he can stay injury free he'll be one of New Zealand's premier players in 2-3 years.

Don't squander the gold of your days making a shrine of cricket videos, trying to improve the hopeless failure, giving your life away to the Blockys, the Devciches and the Weerasundaras! Surrender your devout little cricketing heart to the inured agribusinessman.

Yeah well this is the problem with an increasingly influential (yet no less ) ND supporter base in NZ cricket, isn't it. Not only do they keep crying wolf, I'm not sure they even know what a real wolf looks like any more.

Haha. Take that Howsie.

Yeah, as you'd expect for someone who was supposedly dialling back his bowling as a youth based on what he figured a NZ attack might look like 3-5 years hence, this is more of a getting ahead of himself, less instinctive ****ness.

I've been probably the biggest Anderson batting sceptic on this forum but lets be a bit fair; I bet even Bradman would look gash if you compiled a video of all his edges, plays-and-misses and dismissals all running consecutively. Some of them did look particularly bad, but you're never going to watch a video like that and come out of it thinking someone a better batsman than when you went in.
